🌆 On World Cities Day, WHO calls on leaders everywhere to make cities:
🔹 Healthier
🔹 Fairer
🔹 More sustainable
🌍 Over half the world lives in cities—this number is set to reach nearly 70% by 2050.
*But many urban areas, especially slums, face serious health risks like:*
🏚️ Unsafe housing
🚱 Pollution
💦 Limited access to clean water
🌳 Limited access to green spaces
WHO has launched a new guide to help decision-makers create urban environments that protect health and promote equity.
🏙️ It shows how working together across sectors—transport, environment, housing, and health—can build resilient, cleaner, and more livable cities.
💪🏽 The future of urban health depends on strategic action today—making cities places where everyone can thrive.
